"My grandfather recalled that his aunt went to Alaska during the gold rush and died there, but until recently we did not know that she took her daughter, Naomi Lorimer, with her. Naomi was appointed a guardian in Juneau in 1906. The 1910 census shows she was paralyzed and could not speak. She was institutionalized around 1919, and died of pulmonary tuberculosis in 1928. We do not know why no one came to collect her after her mother died. Thank you for making a record of the exact location of her burial."
